One of the best theft-deterrents you can do. Putting a hidden on/off
switch on the fuel pump requires a car thief to tow away your car if
they want to steal it. It also allows you to switch off the pump in
case of an accident/problem. The car will start and run for almost a
minute on the fuel in the carb bowl(s) which can be dangerous for you
though.
I put a small Radio Shack buzzer across the switch leads (in the
proper polarity) to remind me to switch it on (it buzzes when you
turn the ignition key on, but the fuel pump is switched off) so I
don't start to pull out in traffic only to have the engine die.
It's easy to install on a MGB, I have it on all my cars.

What's this about flipping the pump on and off? Has someone added a
switch into the pump power circuit?
